Deklan Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 Hi Guys, Im a newish sort of owner had my z for around a month now and it seems when the clutch is out the clutch release bearing is rather noisey! Does anyone else find this? Mines only covered 30,000 miles so shes not got 100,000 of miles on her. Cheers Guys Dek Quote
M13KYF Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 clutch release bearing can be noisy. But how noisy is your noise. Worth while posting a video up of your if you can so it can be evaluated best we can Quote
Deklan Posted June 11, 2012 Author Posted June 11, 2012 Not massive but you can deffo tell the diffrence between clutch in and out, il put one up tonight if i get a chance!! Quote
Mikesding Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 Mines done almost 30,000 miles and is also quite noisey - starting to think its normal for the 350z from the amount of posts Quote
ZMANALEX Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 The clutch release bearing only turns when the clutch is depressed Quote

SteveW Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 If it makes no noise when the clutch is in and noisy when out its likely to be the gearbox input shaft bearing. The clutch release bearing would make noise when clutch pressed and no noise when released. Quote

The clutch release bearing would make noise when clutch pressed and no noise when released. You've got that back to front. The release bearing is noisey on the zed when the clutch is depressed(ie not pressed) Quote
SteveW Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Balls! So anoise when the clutch isn't pressed is either the gearbox input shaft bearing or the clutch release bearing? As both bearings should be rotating when the clutch is on contact with the flywheel. I thought the release bearing only rotated when the clutch pedal was pressed? A noise when the clutch is pressed would be the pilot bearing? Or am I just talking rubbish? Quote
